Not sure about Lexus being expensive to maintain, always thought they were solid, reliable cars (maybe it's cause they're a luxury brand so maintenance is higher)
But the IS300 is a very reliable car. Most of the owners have reported no problems, it's a really solid engine and very popular car for tuners and people looking for a strong, reliable car.
Appreciate that bro...
KBB/Edmunds has it going for about 9.5-10.5K... Is it fair to go with KBB/Edmunds? I know their a reliable source but theres a lot it may not take account for..
Would a model with upgraded tint and upgraded stereo system and good miles/maintence record be worth $11.5K or 12k??? I really want the car, I would be willing to pay the dudes asking price but definitely don't want to get jipped! He is in no rush to sell but I just moved and am in need of a reliable car that looks good!
Would appreciate any input!
Where I'm from (Boston), they go around 6-8K.
With the upgrades on your model, and based on your location, I'd try and negotiate to around $11K, or around that area. You definitely aren't being ripped off, but you might be paying a little more if you go around $12k. If you really like it, buy it, but keep in mind great deals come up all over the place.
